Chapter 4

Upon arriving at the clubhouse that is a three story building, with the third story serving as a clock-tower. It has been painted white with a black roof with vines creeping up to the second story. Both Sephiroth and Akeno walk to the club room where Rias is at and waiting for them.

After Akeno opened the doors and walked inside, Sephiroth finally was able to get a view inside. The club room interior is a wood-paneled room with Victorian-style couches and chairs along the walls and a big table in the back of the room. One side is set up to be able to be used as a bath, and a large Gremory Family magic circle is also there to allow teleportation to and from clients. There are currently three other people in the room besides Akeno.

"Welcome Sephiroth, I'm Rias Gremory the heiress to the Gremory clan and one of the administrators of Kuoh town and this here is my peerage why don't you take a seat over there and we can get our introduction out of the way" says a beautiful young woman who is sitting behind the desk in the back of the room with white skin, blue-green eyes and with a buxom figure. She has long, beautiful crimson hair that reaches down to her thighs with a single hair strand (known in Japan as ahoge) sticking out from the top. Her hair also has loose bangs covering her forehead and side bangs framing her face and is currently wearing the school girl's uniform for Kuoh Academy.

Nodding to what she said Sephiroth proceeds to sit on the couch next to a little girl who is currently eating some sweets at a rapid pace completely ignoring her surroundings like it is just another day.

"Why don't you guys introduce yourself to our special guest" Motioning with her hand for the one sitting next to Sephiroth to go first.

"I'm Koneko Toujou the rook piece of Rias peerage, nice to meet you and call me Koneko" a petite girl with white hair and gold eyes. The front of her hair has two long bangs going past her shoulders and several loose bangs hanging over her forehead, while the back has a short bob cut. She also wears a black cat-shaped hair clip on both sides of her hair wearing the Kuoh Academy girls' school uniform, without the shoulder cape. She just continues eating her sweets after saying her piece.

"I suppose I am next, name is Yuuto Kiba but you can call me Kiba and I'm Rias knight in her peerage, very nice to meet you Sephiroth-sama" a handsome young man with short blond hair, blue eyes and a mole underneath his left eye. He is wearing the Kuoh Academy boys' school uniform, which consists of a black blazer with white accents over a white, long-sleeved dress shirt with a black ribbon on the collar, matching black pants, and brown dress shoes. Stands up and gives a polite bow to Sephiroth then sits back down afterwards.

"You have already met my queen Akeno this afternoon so we won't do that again. So let's get to the main topic" Rias says to Sephiroth while interlocking her fingers on the desk.

"I heard from Akeno that you don't remember who you are and have a severe case amnesia and you also happen to be part of the fallen angel as well and a powerful one at that"

"Yes that is true the only thing that I remember is my name really and nothing else, your queen was nice enough to fill in some general information for me early today"

"I believe that I am what you would call a peak high class devil in power level or a tier 4 being" Sephiroth says while releasing his magical pressure in the room showing his power level, which alerts the group making them jump and get into a fighting stance and surround their king. He was the strongest person in the room and only Rias or Akeno stood a chance at fighting him based on the power that he just released and that might not have been all of it.

After this display of power Rias had to think about how she was going to approach this situation. She can't force him to do anything because he is stronger than them even if they work together something tells her that they still won't come out on top if that was to happen. But she also can't have someone like this walking around her territory unsupervised or it could lead to other problems.

"Relax Rias Gremory and peerage if I wanted to do something I can assure you, you wouldn't be able to stop me no matter what you did" Sephiroth says with a chilling smile on his face that made the group shiver because of it knowing that what he is saying is probably true.

"I came here with Akeno because I needed your help Rias. I have nowhere else to go and because I lost my memory my opinions are limited right now till I get some of my memories back" Sephiroth says while sitting back down on the couch leaning back onto it while crossing one of his legs.

"I need a place to stay and since you're one of the devil's in charge of this town, I assume that you can find me a place to stay. In return I will owe you a favor as long as it is nothing too difficult."

"So what do you say Rias, a place to live for a favor from me?" Sephiroth asks Rias who is in a thinking pose.

"This isn't a bad deal for me, but I don't like to break even if I need to have more benefits from this deal" thought Rias who smirks thinking that she is going to get her way.

"I can find you a place to live in Kuoh town and I think I already know where that is going to be their is a large house on the outskirts of town that would be perfect for your needs and my family owns it so there won't be a problem"

"Now as for the favor I would like to use it now and ask you something" Rias then gets up from her chair and walks around the desk and sits next to Sephiroth and grabs one of his arms and puts it in between her large breast and looking up at him cutely.

Seeing what Rias is doing, Sephiroth wonders what she is doing and waits for her to ask for her favor. Much to Rias disappointment Sephiroth isn't reacting at all to the situation; he is just calming looking into her blue-green eyes with his green cat-like slits waiting for her to say something.

"I want you to join my peerage and join our Gremory family, you can be either my other rook or bishop? What do you say, Sephiroth if you join me you can have anything that you want: money, power, status, and women." Rias says much to the shock of the group because they have just met this person and their master is already asking him to join their peerage or family. The only one who knows why she is asking this is her queen Akeno because of a certain fried chicken.

Raising an eyebrow to her question Sephiroth says something that puts Rias into her place.

"No, I will never be a servant to someone else no matter what"

"You are also too weak to even use your evil piece system on me to begin with" Sephiroth says while taking his arm out of Ria's breast and grip.

"Trying to use my favor on something like joining your peerage isn't that easy and no amount of favors that I owe you will get me to change my mind on it. I will not give up my freedom to serve a little girl, that thinks just if she acts cute will get what she wants. Ask something else"

Shocked that he denied her and that he called her a weak little girl basically, she starts to release her power of destruction because of the anger that she is feeling right now toward him. Sensing this the rest of the group tense up and get ready to fight if it comes to.

Noticing this different form of magic, Sephiroth stares at her for a second trying to analyze what makes this magic so different from what he uses. Looking at her use of the power of destruction that is black in the center and has a crimson outline to it, Sephiroth sees what it can do when it touches some items on the coffee table in the center of the room and watches them disintegrate into nothingness. This interests him and he wonders if he can also do this, something to look into later.

Seeing that Rias isn't stopping, Sephiroth releases his own magical power completely smothering her own magical power thus containing her power of destruction. While Rias may have a lot of magical power she doesn't have any real control of it at all and just lets it go wild. Sephiroth is different from her; he has large magical power but he has perfect control of it all thus it was easy for him to constrain her magical power that she released in her anger.

"Enough Rias Gremory you need to calm down or we are going to have a problem" Sephiroth says in a chilling voice it felt like the temperature dropped in the room a couple of degrees that sent a cold shiver down the backs of the four members of the ORC.

Having forcefully been calmed down thanks to Sephiroth's magical pressure and his chilling voice they were finally able to get back on track with the conversation.

"Fine, I'm sorry that I lost my temper there Sephiroth" Rias says with a fake smile on her face but internally she is alarmed because he was able to suppress her with his magical power alone. She noticed that before he took it away it was like he had perfect control over his magical power and knew exactly what he wanted to do with it and didn't waste any of it in the process, something that she can't do.

"If you won't join my peerage I'll save the favor for later then but you need to join the school as a student then this way it will be able to watch you in my territory for both of the supervisors. We both go to this school as students and I will introduce you to her when you start Monday morning." Rias says while puffing her cheeks trying to look upset like a little kid but it doesn't work on Sephiroth at all. If anything this is just proving his point from earlier but he is too lazy to point it out.

"You will also join either my ORC or the student council being a part of the supernatural world like us, it is a must" Rias says to him while thinking that he will most likely join her ORC and when he does she will get him to agree to join her peerage without even having to use her favor from him, it's a perfect plan.

"I understand then if I must I'll join this Kuoh Academy but it will be as a 2nd year seeing as I am 17 years old, it the least that I can do for you as the supervisor for letting me live in your territory" Sephiroth says in a calming voice to all in the room, which is even better for Rias because this means that she will have even more chances to interact with him and convince him to join her. She must get him for her future no matter what she has to do.

"Akeno here will show you the way to the house and we can talk more, 2 days from now when school starts where I'll introduce you to the other supervisor and my friend Sona the student council president."

"Before that can you lend me some money and have someone send me some basic clothes, this is all I have and I would prefer not to walk around looking like this" Sephiroth states while pointing at his current clothes that look like rags on his body. If his body and face weren't so perfect he would most likely look like a beggar with his current getup.

"I would owe you another favor if you could manage this for me Rias Gremory" Sephiroth asks looking straight into her eyes making her blush a little bit because of it.

"I would be more than happy to help you Sephiroth, something like this is very easy for me"

"Kiba could you be a dear and fetch him some clothing and some money and bring it to Sephiroth's new house"

"Yes president, I'll be leaving now then to go handle" Kiba stands up and bows to his king Rias and gives a small nod to Sephiroth and walks out the door to handle the task that Rias gave him.

"I appreciate your help Rias Gremory, if there is nothing else I would like to leave now I am tired from all these events that happen today"

"That's not a problem at all and you can call me Rias" She says giving a wink to Sephiroth trying to have a closer relationship with him. Where Sephiroth just nods his head to her statement and then stares at Akeno waiting on her so that they can leave.

"Akeno be a dear and lead Sephiroth to the house for me please and then come back, we have some things to discuss okay" Rias says to her queen who understood her hidden meaning.

"Of course president, I won't be gone long" Akeno says then walks toward the door motioning with her hand in a come here motion to Sephiroth who nodded and followed her outside to fly toward his new place he has been given.

"Koneko what do you think of Sephiroth?" Rias asks her only rook who has since returned to eating her sweets after both Akeno and Sephiroth left the room.

"He is strong, very strong, and has a very strong life force within.... Almost like he is the very embodiment of life force himself, it's weird and mysterious my youkai side senses were going haywire when he was sitting next to me" Koneko says, pausing from eating her sweets to answer her king's question and wondering why she can feel so much life force from him. If she was being honest with herself it kind of made her intoxicated and if he stayed there any longer she might have done something to him.

"Oh that is something new, I didn't know that at all and makes me want to get him to join us that much more" Rias says to her little rook. "I need a power like this under my control if I want any say in who I'm going to marry in the future. Sephiroth Crescent no matter what it takes you are going to join my peerage" Rais thought while staring off into the distance through the window in the club room.
